Yeah TBH I like yaml. Sure its not the best ever, but its not the worst it could possibly be.

For config its not terrible. For ansible playbooks its again… not terrible.

Why is everyone always hating on something which is just kinda mid.

There are so many contracts that say “you may be required to do reasonable overtime”. Reasonable, paid overtime right? RIGHT?

All they had to do was ban the whole “reasonable overtime is an expected part of this role” verbiage, and actual workers would have loved that.

What a bloody useless article. Pages of waffle all for: “Employees from today will have the right to refuse contact outside their working hours unless that refusal is unreasonable.”

Mine are all named after dairy products.

I have whey as the main docker host and first mon, milk as my main x86 osd, leben-{1,2} as more (arm64) osds, kumis-{1,2,3} as more (arm64) mons, kefir and ghee are old x86 mons (maybe Ill repurpose them as docker hosts someday. I have lassi-{1,2} as rpi 3b+ but they arent in use at the moment because I dont need them yet. Ive got pytia as my spine, and yoghurt as my edge, leaf is l2 so no hostname.

ACT. Maybe I’m a bit hyperbolic saying all of them. But all the ones I can think of.

Also all the actual good content (raids) are not explained and you need to herd some cats to do them. Which is even harder if you’re learning them.

The best time I had with destiny was when I had a clan and a couple of the more experienced players would take a bunch of newbies through. Then we could fuck around and not be completely lost.

Wube is the kind of game dev company that would invent a new algorithm (like the fast inverse square root in quake) and not tell anyone until some insane player realised that their in-game circuit network ARM CPU simulation ran 20% faster than it theoretically should. Then they would publish a Friday facts about it once and move on.

Right. I guess I just loathe the relentless commodification of our social interactions and one of the things I like about mastodon isthath the “always be promoting your personal brand” thing is notably absent. It reminds me of early social media, before people became brainrotted chasing the influencer lifestyle. I guess I just don’t think you can have an algorithm for that kind of thing because then the connections aren’t real.

My point was that creators should want to disconnect from these artificial engagement driven systems that make people care about their “brand” and all that corpo bullshit.

I don’t think mastodon has to do anything to draw creators to it, it is what it is and many people like it that way. I don’t like the fake, engagement driven, clout goblin mentality that infests instagram and if mastodon started doing things to cultivate that vibe I would consider it a bug not a feature.
